Scope and content

F.W. Smythe compiled this large collection of newspaper cuttings relating to church history for use by students of Moore Theological College, a task he completed in 1952. Newspapers represented in the collection include The Sydney Mail and The Sydney Morning Herald, dated in no discernible order 1905-1952. The collection is limited in that it lacks a subject index or contents list, and its usefulness is thus undermined.
